"You have interested me very much"
said Mrs. Escott, whose face had lost
its look of WEAKNESS and disappoint-
ment. Il am very glad you told me
your brothers story"
Taylor says that sometimes the
''heaviest wheat of ALL may spring up
from seeds dropped in an accidental
way. Mrs. Escott, when once more in
the train. found the story she had heard
sufficient food for thought during the
rest of her journey. The awakening
from the selfish tolpor into which her
grief had plunged her had been accom-
plished at last by the merest accident.
She was not naturally selfish. 1t was
sorrow alone which had made her so.
When she returned home, the follow

the change which had taken place in
her. She appeared brighter and more

Mr. Barry.
She told him very frankly the object
of per call. She wanted him to take a

rest, too. The five children can come
to me. Twill take care of them until
your return. They will. perhaps" and
her voice faltered, do me good in
good in many ways. I have been
lonely for SO long"
1t need scarcely be said that Mr..
Barry accepted the help which had
come to him in so noble and generous
shape; and two weeks later he and
his delicate, gentle wife were on the
ocean, and their five noisy. happy chill
dren, whose ages ranged from fourteen
to five years, were rompiug in Mrs.
Escott's big garden. and filing the
long-silent rooms of the great stone
house with noise and life.
The seed SO accidentally dropped
bore even more fruit; for the society
which had organized the Sunday read
ing-room received donation from Mrs.
Escott of five hundred dollars, and the
promise of more when it was needed.
Mrs. Escott never drifted back again
to the aimless, melancholy, selfish life
she had led before that memorable call
at the little brown farmhouse, and in
the years that followed she never
thought without gratitude of the sweet
faced woman who had told her the
minister's simple story.-Florence B.

Some OF the Most Prominent Features Of
the Bulldogs Character.

Some Of the Most Prominent Features of
tho Bulldogs Character.
Owing to his comparative rareness,
his moral character is as little under
stood by the general public as are his
points, and by a very large section Of
the community he is looked upon with
fear and aversion, as being both savage
and treacherous. He is in reality
seldom the first by nature, though he
may be by education, and the latter he
never is, either by nature or education.
His evenness of temper is one of the
most prominent features of his char
acter, and what he is at times he always
is. If he has been educated to be
savage he always will be savage. but if
his natural good-natured Incidence is
allowed to develop properly by kind
ness and good management he will be
always gentle. There is nothing vari-
able or snappy about him, and he will
allow liberties to be taken with him by
children-aye, and by grown-up chill
dren also-that many other sorts of
dogs would resent such as collies and
retrievers. who are not at all times trust
worthy, and who, if they are being
leased or get their tails trodden upon.
are liable to turn and snap. Snappingis
an unknown vice among bulldogs; buff
they should be thoroughly reused they
go straight to business and fix on the
object that they intend to annihilate,
and, as our transatlantic cousins say.
''they freeze ON" and, being once
fixed, it is . matter of considerable
trouble to get them to loose their hold.
Their tenacity aud courage are house
hold words in our language, and
seldom is q book written without
some allusion to bulldog courage
and tenacity; and our successes
in the battlefield are constantly
attributed to the ''bulldog'' courage Of
our men and the resemblance of the
man to the dog in not knowing when
he is beaten. Their fidelity also is
great; and, though evidently not an
admirer of the breed. one of our great
est novelists pays tribute Of admira-
ton to that quality in them, in his de-
scription of Bill Skies dog and his
melancholy ending, in which he clearly
shows which is the finer beast Of the
two. the beast man showing up in
degrading relief to his four-footed
friend, whose fidelity no brutality or
i'll usage could shake. Bulldogs are
most affectionat1 and intelligent, and
much of the abuse that is lavished on
them is on account of their appear
ance. which is decidedly against them
as regards the gen.ler virtues, and be-
cause Of the utter want of knowledge

tion of the public. IS Saturday ReuiesO.

TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.

A. w. Flowerdew, farmer living
alone many miles west Of Lincoln,
Neb., was out in the fields stepping
oil portion to pillow, when he motto
ell a range steer about half mile
distant. He went on with the meas
urement but presently hearing some
thing approach turned and saw the
steer coming at him full speed, head
down and about twenty yards away.
Mr.. Fowlerdew VAS not armed, and
his only way to avoid being struck
by the first charge was to dodge it.,
which he did The steer turned and
came again, but with not 50 much
force, and Flowerdew succeeded in
getting his right hand into his nos
trils. Here the battle began be-
tween man and beast. re one il
meant life or death. To the other II
made no difference. For area they
had two hundred square miles of lev
ell plain, in the centre of which the
sky dropped to the earth to form the
boundry of the scene of action. Nc
C@saa was there to crown the victor
and no amphitheater in Roman
grandeur to applaud. The nose was
best place Flowerdew could have got
hold of the maddened brute, and
backward and forward they strug.
gled.
The steer was three years old, and
as Flowerdew is tall and powerful
man, it made IA nearly equal fight.
For over half an hour they struggled.
All the while Flowerdew was work
ing his way to the house, in front Of
which he secured a heavy club.
When he got hold Of this he had a
little better show, and commenced to
pound he steer over the head and
nose. This the steer stood and sui
iered, but the minute the pounding
stopped the brute charged and had to
be beaten Of The last desperate
effort made by the steer knocked

WORKING COTTON.

Cotton calls for frequent working
in its early stages; it is important to
push it rapidly beyond the point
where 1T suffers from "sore shins"
and lice. In the olden time it was
thought best to side cotton with
scooter, shovel or other deep-running
plows. Ample experience has shown
that this is neither necessary nor de-
sirable. The crop is best cultivated
from beginning to end with sweep or
scrape, set to run quite shallow. A
soil deeply broken before planting,
but allowed to settle and become
somewhat compact provided that
the surface is kept stirred seems
most conducive to truiting, Aside
from the matter Of root-cutting, there
seems to be a decided advantage in
shallow culture to cotton crop. 1t
makes the growth steady and uni
form, and nothing contributes more
than such growth to fruting and the
holding on to fruit Rapid growth,
followed by a sudden check, is the
chief cause of shedding. We cannot
always prevent the check, but we
may do something towards putting
the crop in condition to receive it
with least injury. The object of the
farmer should be to keep his cotton
growing steadily, but not too rapid
ly. Rapid growth is always danger
Gus; it makes sappy, tender plant,
extremely sensitive to every adverse
influence. Southern Culticator
